ENG 2205 Ashford University Theme of Appearance versus Reality Discussion
I’m studying for my English class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?
Prompts on Hamlet are as follows:
Discuss the theme of appearance versus reality in the play. Use this idea to answer how the ethereal elements, such as the ghost of Old King Hamlet, should be used to interpret the plot. Does the ghost represent Hamlet’s disbelief in his own reality and become a construct of the mind, which inevitably destroys him, or does the ghost fit within the of reality of the political corruption in the state to symbolize this notion as he takes revenge that he sees fit for the death of his father?
How should one interpret the use of knowledge and absolute power based on the play? What is your own interpretation of the divine right of kings as opposed to other forms of government based on the plot? Is the play an accurate portrayal of the divine right of kings, or is it otherwise based on your interpretation of how realistic the plot is?
Describe how various ontological views of relativism impact the ethical situations in the plot by focusing in on Hamlet’s role, as opposed to the significance of absolutism or idealism? How does this narrative express the issues within a humanist Renaissance?
